Strabismus

Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes are not aligned properly. This can cause the eyes to look in different directions, or to appear crossed. The cause of strabismus is still poorly understood but can be due to a combination of factors involving genetics, developmental problems, injuries, and various medical conditions.

Strabismus usually can be treated successfully, but early diagnosis and treatment are important to prevent vision problems. If you have questions about strabismus, it is important to consult with an eye care professional.
